Finger length of driving gloves

I got a pair of black leather driving gloves for Christmas to go with my Jaguar XKR. The glovesí fingers are too long, and I was considering cutting them off after the first knuckle to make them more functional. Is this a reasonable modification or too Mad Max?

I prefer to have the leather on the steering wheel, but for those of you turning wood or plastic, it is certainly permissible. Some driving gloves are fingerless, and they make sense for cars with switches and keyboards. Have a shoemaker or other leather expert cut and stitch them for you. It will make BlackBerrying and passenger-side acupressure application so much easier.
